Hey everybody! It's me Heather! Guess what today is? Well, it's easter sunday. But to this atheist it only means a couple of things. First, the 10 commandments on TV. I know it's a religious movie, but I love it. The over acting is fantastic. And lets just say it, Yul Brynner was a total babe.

Look at those arms? I'd tap that. I'm just sayin.

The second thing easter means to me is easter candy. Easter candy is better than normal candy. Reese's eggs are way better than normal eggs, and those little robins eggs? Delicious. Unfortunately for me, i am vegan. So the candy of my youth is now off limits. Lastly, it's zombie jesus day. Everybody knows that when it comes to zombies, Jesus was the OG. Ok, yes every day is zombie day to me. But zombie jesus day is particularly special. So in honor of this very special day, I found you guys a little present.

Have a great zombie jesus day everybody! May it be filled with plastic grass, brightly colored eggs, and if you are really lucky, a baby animal or two. And tomorrow when you wake up from your peep induced sugar coma, I'll be here with another zombie movie review.

Husband: Okay, then I want you to burry me in a glacier. Then you need to let me thaw out on November 11th so I don't have to wait to play Skyrim. That's what Eric Cartman did. Of course, he ended up in the future on accident.

I guess I should explain to some of the non-gaming Blog Babies that this hoodie is made to look like the armor worn the main character, Commander Shepard in the video game Mass Effect. I have wanted this hoodie for a long time. There is just one problem.

I bought the dude version of it for husband at Christmas time. He loves it, and wears it all the time. I keep thinking about getting one any way, but I'm pretty sure that moves us into a geek territory that I'm not entirely comfortable with. I'll even think to myself that I just won't wear it when we go out together, but you know it would eventually happen. The thought of us out together wearing Mass Effect hoodies is just more than I can take. I think I have to let this one go...

It turns out that Husband downloaded a bunch of content for Mass Effect that I hadn't played yet. I was playing through some of it yesterday and this scene just made me laugh.

You (Commander Shepard that is)have broken into an apartment and are looking for a sample of the owner's DNA. You are with a master thief member of your team named Kasumi.

I have new baby nephew. I've been thinking about gifts for him so of course I had to ask myself, "what would Martha do?" Now remember blog babies, we are in no way affiliated with Martha Stewart. We simply love her and try to bring her influence into our daily lives. It is our hope to someday interview her for the blog. If you have any ideas on how we can make that happen, please let us know!

We have to keep in mind in the gift giving that it is my mission to be the cool, slightly irreverent aunt. This is what I came up with.

Of course handcrafted items make a sweet and unique addition to any baby gift. I reccomend whipping up one of these.

This crocheted Cthulhu doll is sure to be a crowd pleaser. It's so embarrassing to give a gift only to find out the baby already had that particular item. You can be sure your gift is one of a kind if you make it yourself! If you think the baby would enjoy zombies, ninjas, or maybe the grim reaper instead you can find a pattern for it in this book. http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Creepy-Cute-Crochet/Christen-Haden/e/9781594742323 Heather also makes some amazing zombie dolls. I'm sure she will share them with you at a later date.

If you don't have the time or skill for a crocheted doll I can't say enough good things about the amazing people on Etsy. You can give something handcrafted without the need to turn off your xbox.

Hello! It's Heather one more time today. Getting sick of me yet? Too bad. I have a little TMI to share. You know.... lIke i do.

This one is for guys. (kinda)

Guys I know "that time of the month" makes you uncomfortable. I get it. Guess what? It makes me uncomfortable too. I don't think it's beautiful, or wonderful. I certainly wouldn't call it magical or anything else like that. It's gross. It sucks. And I hate that all the stuff I need for that time of the month are called feminine hygiene products. Let me just tell you that there is no other time in my life that I feel less feminine. But what I don't understand is why guys get so squeamish when we use the word "period" Trust me. There are a lot worst terms. To prove it, I have composed a list of my favorites.

Hello again. It's Heather. And I am still peeved about a comment that was left on our little blog here. I deleted it, because I don't think people need to be dicks. I just don't. People are entitled to their opinion, but it's my blog, and I will post what I want! That being said, I like this adorable picture of a kitten with a hat. The hat looks mad. Like me.

Dear blog babies. We love you. We do. We always want you to read, and we hope you are amused. But if not, please. Stop reading. If you have nothing better to do than post mean and stupid comments then maybe you should be more worried about your lack of a life than our baby animal posts.

Did you know that there is an official Peep fan club? It's true, and I am a member. http://www.marshmallowpeeps.com/ Click on the link and notice the fan club tab. Just be ready to mute the music. It's really annoying. If you would also like to be a member it's easy to sign up.

Peeps are one of those things that everyone seems to either love or hate. Most people I know seem to fall into the hater crow, but I can't resist them. This sounds really gross, but I love it when I find a forgotten package in a drawer and they are super hard and chewy. Some people only love them stale. Others only love them fresh. I just love them unconditionally. Only the bunnies and chics though. All other peeps are impostors. That means you only have a few days left to enjoy them. Then they won't be able to taunt you with their beady little chocolate eyes again until next spring.
